However, Opposition MP Niko Nawaikula says the review done is not good enough and more consultations with landowners is needed.

“Our point here is that we need to review this because the people that matter were not consulted. There is a need therefore for the petition to go ahead to hear their views, so that if it is beneficial, if there is a need for it to be brought back to parliament and that’s another decision, that is the whole purpose, totally wrong”
